New signing Marty Moore has stated that Ulster is the "right fit" for him as the tight-head prop settles down to playing and living on this side of the Irish Sea again after his stint with Wasps.

And the former Leinster player - who has also won 10 caps for Ireland - will be quickly reacquainted with his former team-mates at Wasps as Ulster will play their final pre-season friendly at the Ricoh Arena on Friday, August 24.

Moore (27) spent two seasons at Wasps after joining up with the Premiership squad in the summer of 2016 and, as such, has been unable to add to his haul of Ireland caps, with his last appearance coming in the win over Scotland which secured back-to-back Six Nations titles in 2015.

Moore is one of Ulster's supposedly marquee signings - the other being Jordi Murphy - for the forthcoming season and he will doubtless be hoping to reclaim a place in the Irish squad, though Tadhg Furlong clearly has the No.3 shirt nailed down at present.

"I enjoyed my time in the Premiership," said Moore, who was with Ulster when their punishing pre-season training got under way this week in searing heat.
